Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
ABC's new Muppets may never fully ascend/rebound into anything truly great, but "Got Silk?" was a good example of how letting sweetness guide the story rather than full-fledged strife is the best course for the series. Honestly, not all of this one landed, but the final five minutes involving Deadly trying to tell Piggy that he was her true friend - and then Piggy's delayed realization (during a duet with Ingrid Michaelson) that Deadly was her true friend - was great. As was the entire crew showing up for Deadly's small theater Clueless stage show! Very inspired.

Especially his fake emergency phone call from the show during the aerial aerobics class. From a "Jeremy Rosenstein." Demanding "fisticuffs." A true friend. I mean, he does constantly prevent Piggy from "looking too deeply into the abyss of her own loneliness."
